Most people after I say that I am a Reiki Master/Practitioner give me a blank stare. Reiki has been around for hundreds of years but the mystery still remains. The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to the quality of our health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this “life force energy” has been verified by ancient scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.

Reiki is simply a technique for stress reduction and relaxation, it allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve health and enhance the quality of life. Reiki is a Japanese word that simply means “universal life force energy”, and is a technique for transmitting this energy to yourself and others through your hands. It has been thought to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago. Reiki was re-discovered in Japan during the late 1800′s.

It is a treatment that feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you. It can only be used for good. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being.

Reiki is a Japanese healing art that is gaining worldwide popularity. What makes Reiki unique is that is incorporates elements of just about every other alternative healing practice, such as spiritual healing, auras, crystals, chakra balancing, meditation, aromatherapy, naturopathy, and homeopathy.

Reiki involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient and claims to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki utilizes specific techniques for restoring and balancing the natural life force energy within the body. It is a holistic, natural, hand-on energy healing system that touches on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.

Reiki energy has several basic effects. It brings about a deep relaxation, destroys perceived energy blockages, tries to detoxify the system, provides new vitality in the form of healing energy, and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.

I’m currently taking Chris Kopacz’s spirituality course on Thursday evenings from 6-9pm for 6 weeks. She will be hosting her first Reiki I and II course coming soon. She is also teaching a mentoring class held on Wednesday evenings and she offers a spirit guided meditation at her house on Wednesday’s from 5-6:30pm for $15 per class.
